If your life or the life of someone you love has been hijacked by
pain, you’re not alone. Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart
disease, and cancer combined.

In fact, one out of every three U.S. adults lives with
chronic pain triggered by arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, disc
problems, fibromyalgia, headaches, sciatica, or other causes. That’s why
the experts at Mayo Clinic are working with The Great Courses to craft
this research-based guide to coping with chronic pain, giving you access
to the same knowledge that has made Mayo Clinic’s highly successful
pain management programs so effective.
